Abstract:
Electric furnace is used for heating purpose in various industrial production processes. Electric furnaces are used where more accurate temperature control is required. There are three types of electrical furnaces namely: (1) Induction Heating Furnace (2) Resistance Heating Furnace and (3) Arc furnace depending upon the method of heat generation.
Induction heating furnaces and arc furnaces are beyond the scope of this project profile. The scope of this project profile is confined to the resistance heating furnace only. In resistance heating furnaces, the resistance heating elements are used to generate the heat in a heating chamber.
